The work does not come home with you becasue of confidentiality reasons. Its a good foot in the door to sales and learning to deal with rejection repeatedly. Minor automony with scheduling your work day.

Cons

Everything. You live in a cubicle and make phone calls to people who did not request information. The pay and hours are awful and 6 day work weeks are no fun. It all starts out rosy and goes down hill from there. Communication with management is horrid and turnover is exteremely high due to poor training and high expectations amongst other things. No room for promotion or pay raise.

Advice to Management

communicate with your employees and treat them like intelligent adults. An improvement plan with someone who wants to win could do the department wonders instead of firing and re-hiring and hoping to hit targets.

I loved spending time with the students and getting to know them. The teachers there are really sweet and great to talk too. They were really there for the students.

Cons

This place is under horrible management. The constantly through admissions staff under the bus to save their own jobs. They were extremely rude and disrespectful. I would never work there again.

Advice to Management

You should never use other staffs shortcoming for training, such as, training a new admissions staff member with a phone call made by a member that was still present on the team. It unprofessional and disrespectful.

Great co-workers, diversity. Tuition reimbursement if you expect to be here two more years after graduation. Great students.

Cons

Small campus, ancient computers, no office space for instructor or program coordinators. No room for professional growth. If you are ambitious in life and want to keep growing, this is not the place. If you love to be in your comfort zone and do the job to keep also your managers in their comfort zone, then this is definitely the place for you.

Advice to Management

Take more risks, appreciate the talent. Improve your leadership qualities.

Pros

A respectable open-enrollment institution. Has grown much over the years. Honestly and always trying to improve in the face of stiff competition. Has potential. Paychecks always on time.

Cons

Erratic, at times ill considered replacement of staff and instructors has too often diminished the quality of SU's education and culture, as stated by students to replaced teachers. Most complaints and occasional disaffection reflect constructive attempts to help, not to tear down. Persons in positions of authority should listen more, and fear less.

Advice to Management

Might wish to introduce differentiated pay for quality instructors. Quality is not easily replaceable and market pricing has its downside, as it does not reflect quality, only the numbers game. Might try compacting ten-week terms into one-month intensives, as does some of the competition.

Great camaraderie among staff since we are all in the same boat and have the same opinion of our employer.

Cons

Pay stinks It's all about the money making and not about producing a quality product They require an entrance exam but still make allowances for those students who can't pass it They will not let you fail a student - they call it retention but we know it's all about keeping the money coming in They do not keep their hiring promises about annual reviews and raises They won't let us market our campus and then complain because we have no students applying

Advice to Management

Listen to your education staff. We are the ones that really know what is going on and can help you turn things around.

Worst Job Ever! Good news is you get to leave when you are scheduled. No one wants to come early or stay late, so trust you'll be ready to go!

Cons

No work/life balance. You work 6 days a week! Mandatory Saturday's or they whine when you can't come. For what?! It's not that serious. Pay is awful and micro management is an understatement! Awful experience.

Pros: The work location is ideal (centrally located, near major expressways and bridges). The work environment is clean and the employes and instructors are friendly.

Cons

Cons: 1. Extreme micromanagement 2. Misleading job description for Admissions Coordinator - this is a sales job. Weekly and monthly enrollment (sales) goals must be achieved. However, this is not mentioned in the job description and it is shunned during training. 3. Negative reinforcement

Advice to Management

Believe in your coordinators. They went through an extensive hiring process so they should not have to endure extreme micromanagement (monitoring calls, messages and meetings). If a coordinator is given breathing room, they will be more confident and feel more comfortable in their job. This translates into a happier coordinator, which is something a prospective student will notice during their interview. In the end, this may result in more enrollments because students are more likely to enroll with a happy coordinator than with a "stressed-out" coordinator.
